Fetterman: Both Republicans and Democrats ‘get hungry’ without SNAP during shutdown

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Saturday called the effects of the government shutdown, including the suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for at least the month of November, “wrong.”

Speaking with Lara Trump on Fox News’s “My View,” Fetterman emphasized that he did not care “who’s behind” the shutdown. “It’s always wrong, and here we are,” he said.

The senator’s comments highlight the real-world impact of the government shutdown on vulnerable communities who rely on federal assistance programs. With SNAP benefits halted, many families face increased uncertainty and hardship during an already challenging time.

Fetterman’s stance underscores the urgency of resolving the shutdown to prevent further harm to those dependent on these critical support systems.
